Paul,
It was just my dumb luck that the TB drive corrupted the sectors where I had the MCF & MCF.BAK files stored, so I lost both at the same time.
As we speak, a brand-spankin' new desktop computer is speeding my way. With a 2TB HD, this should enable me to actually save my WAV files on the working computer. My 10 year old XP based desktop will then be designated sculpture.
With the old computer, the lack of HD space was an issue, so I bought a 1.5 TB external drive where I stored my WAV files. It was easy to set up an automatic backup from desktop to the TB drive, but not the other way around. At least the WAV files were not lost. Now I will be easily able to save a mirror onto my external drive.
I am archiving a lot of irreplaceable cassette tapes onto which I recorded friends and myself in college as we sat around drinking & smoking & playing guitars. This was back in the days when CASSETTES were new!! They are a bitch to enter trackbeats, and I have about 20 hours worth of tapes transferred to WAV files. Luckily, I saved the tracklists to TXT files on my desktop, which will enable me to at least import that data back onto the WAV files and begin rebuilding, but all of the editing is lost. It was also lucky that I had already burned CDs from my work, but they were trimmed to fit on a CD.
Your software is awesome! Most programs are either under-featured, or tremendously over-featured, giving them a steep learning curve. I don't have the time to spend on learning the software as well as performing the tasks. VS was definitely the answer. My favorite feature of your software is the ability to download tracklists from the internet.
Thanks Paul!!
